RHIANNON ISHMAEL AND LORNA BROWN SPORTS PORTRAITS - PERSONAL PROJECT

I love to photograph people who are great at something in a way that visually illustrates that skill, so when I came across Rhiannon, formerly a player for QPR, currently studying in the USA on a football scholorship, I knew I wanted to shoot a great set of portraits of her, showing her in the act of playing football. Rather than taking the more obvious route of shooting her out on a football field, I though it would be more interesting to bring a little piece of the pitch into the studio and shoot her on that, a little like an action figure on a base, or a statue on a plinth.
